Blood Cancer: Other Aspects

Other features that are related to blood cancer include several other factors. Anaemia is a common side effect of chemotherapy procedures & sometimes blood cancer itself is cause of anaemia. Researches have shown that there is a clear connection between blood cancer and thrombosis, because some of the genetic changes that cause blood cancer also increase the activation of clotting factors. People with cancer are at increased risk of developing these dangerous blood clots. The other risk factors include blood transfusions, lymphatic System defects, exposure to radiation and carcinogenic chemicals.

Socio economic factors also serve to play a role in Blood Cancer. Some syndromes that are caused by genetic mutations (abnormal changes) present at birth seem to raise the risk of Blood Cancer.
